35 So the water ran all around the altar; and he also filled athe trench with water.
36 And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “Lord aGod of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, blet it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that cI have done all these things at Your word.
37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You again.”

39 Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, a“The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!”
